Summer Visit From Nana

Since Nana has the summer off work, she likes to make sure and get in about a week-long visit. We were so excited to have her!

Our fun included...

Making Dirt! Yum!

Afternoon Pool Time

The kids swim most afternoons, so Mom and I enjoyed being able to watch them (and they loved showing Nana how good they have gotten at swimming and I'm sure she loved seeing well as how well they can argue over a floatie) and sit and chat before/during supper prep and wine time.

Park Bike Trail and Picnic

It was gorgeous weather and we loved getting out our bikes/walking shoes, which we haven't done nearly enough this summer. We enjoyed having a picnic lunch by the pond as well.

Zoo

Lorelei happened to have zoo camp on Mom's last day. (More on that in next post.) Makin had the two of us all to himself all morning at the zoo. :) First stops were the aquarium and butterfly house. He stood very still and even had a big blue butterfly come and land on his ear!

Other highlights were the polar bear feeding, the lemurs, the chameleon and feeding the fish.

We left and took him to get a nap in the car since Lorelei's camp went until 3:30 and that is a big day for little legs. :) Then we went back for some more fun (Dad included this time) and picked up L. It was member appreciation day so they had extra activities including a bounce obstacle course and giant bubbles. Lorelei took a camel ride and they both enjoyed brushing the goats. (Soooo much better than food btw!)

Our first train ride this year! They loved it!

Thanks for a wonderful visit Nana! We had lots of fun!
